Librarian Rank 1 Advances

By Arkidda, in Deathwatch Rules Questions

Okay, I am not sure if this has been brought up before, as I can't find it in history.

Plus I am going off memory here as I don't have my core book with me (and everytime I go home, I forget to ask.)

On the Librarian's Rank 1 Advances, there is a talent listed: Psypower (x2) if I am remembering this right. One of my players who is playing a Librarian pointed this out to me, this talent is not listed in the descriptions anywhere and we can't seem to figure out what it is for.

Any help here please.

P.S. Noob question: what does RAW stand for - I am seeing it mentioned all over the forum.

Rules As Written. The rules as they can be read in the books, without any house rules or interpretation of the author's intent as in "well, they may have written x, but from the context it becomes clear they actually meant y".

Psy Power (x2) means that you can buy up to two psychic powers, which you will find in the Psychic Powers chapter of the book. The XP cost for each power is there also, which is why the Advances table has "Variable" there, because each power costs a different amount of XP. Once you have bought 2 Psychic Powers (can be at different times) with that table advance, you will have to wait until you reach another rank with Psy Powers available.

Yeah and don't worry because you didn't get it because the book is mildly confusing about this. You just get to pick the talent up to two times for this rank (remember that you can pick them at a later rank if you don't buy them immediately). For each time you pick it, you can buy one of the Psy Powers whose requirements you meet.

The same thing will apply when you run into Sound Constitution x2 it just means can buy it twice that rank.

Ahhhh, thank you guys. That makes sense now. Greatly appreciated the responses. Now I know.
